The two most powerful words in the English language are yes<\/em> and no<\/em>. Unfortunately, they\u2019re also the hardest to master.<\/p>\n\n

Like you, I have more opportunities and requests than time and energy. I\u2019m better than ever at discerning the good from the bad, but I still sometimes agree to a project or meeting, instantly realize the mistake, and wish I had a rewind button for my life.<\/p>\n

Lysa TerKeurst wrestles with the same thing, and I\u2019m excited to say she\u2019s now written a book on making wise decisions in our crazy world of endless demands.<\/p>\n

I count Lysa as a friend. She has spoken at my Launch<\/a> and Platform<\/a> conferences, and I\u2019ve had the privilege of speaking at her She Speaks<\/a> conference. I love her sense of humor and her warmth. Lysa has an uncanny ability to tell hilarious stories about herself that help us better understand our own strengths and weaknesses.<\/p>\n

Her new book, The Best Yes<\/a><\/em> is no different. It\u2019s all about how master those two powerful words, yes and no. She starts by admitting the struggle. \u201cEvery assignment feels like my assignment,\u201d she says. But then she finds herself overcommitted. \u201cI\u2019m a little overwhelmed and a lot worn down.\u201d<\/p>\n\t\t
